General Ethics: DO NOT excavate historical sites or national parks. It is illegal to do so. Get permission for private property. Take photographs. These dump sites are time capsules and contain artifacts of historical importance. Larn how to carefully excavate artifacts. Fill all holes. Excavating privies can be dangerous and should only be attemped by skilled diggers. They are deep and unstable pits which can collapse. There's safety in numbers so bring a friend and have a phone handy in case of emergencies.
